I've seen 3 clients with this condition so far and, so far, all have resolved smoothly. The first one was in 1999 and she is still pain free. I have not kept in touch with the other two but assume they are still doing well also. For each of them I used a 5 session approach that started where glove anesthesia left off and also sneakily addressed any underlying emotional issues that were feeding the pain. Remember to address the fear or anxiety that people with chronic pain always have and release any secondary gain.

Remember, secondary gain is always positive so don't try to beat it up and destroy it. Otherwise, you will entrench it even more. You can learn this approach from my No More Pain book found at www.alabamahypnotherapycenter.com. It's an approach that works very well for most chronic pain issues. I get a lot of people referred from the Palliative Care Unit of one of our local hospitals so I see chronic pain patients almost every day of the week.

Usually the longer the patient has suffered with carpal tunnel syndrome the more damage that has been done to the nerves. They have been compressed for a long time before the surgery was done to release them. It takes that long for them to return to normal unless you instruct the unconscious mind to heal them faster. Surgeons seem to allude that the relief will be immediate, like loosening your belt after Thanksgiving lunch. I haven't seen that demonstrated in the people I've seen. So, absolutely, clean your hypnotherapist's house or paint their barn or do something so you can do more sessions, heal the nerves and end the pain.
